Which school's Greek row impressed you most?
 
Which college or university has the best looking fraternity and sorority houses? I would have to put Illinois and Penn State high on the list for no other reason than the huge number of houses, and all built for Greek use. Indiana would rank up there because a majority of them have a capacity of 80-100. At Cornell many are very elegant and in spectacular settings (as is the entire campus). The sorority quandrangle at Northwestern is also very impressive. What campus have you visited in which you were especially impressed by the Greek houses?

I have only ever visited one campus which had an actual Greek Row, and that was U Maryland. I wasn't impressed.

All the other schools I've visited over the years...I either didn't see their Greek Row, or their houses were interspersed around the community.

Ole Miss is way up there. The sororities in particular are ridiculous (in a good way).

Really?

SMU's is nice, but really can't hold a candle to some of the others I've seen. Penn State's is amazing, for the architechture (fyi, I have photos of the houses that are almost 100 years old), but once you're in some of them, eh.

I think UVA's is underrated, but am totally in love with Washington & Lee's!!

SMU is ok....


Tough one, as many schools have their houses spread across campus, and don't really have a "row".

It's from their website - and doesn't include the sixth house now being built! ;)


I like Mercer's for the same reason - similar houses, but personal touches.

Hey, thanks! We do have some really cool, older homes (and some really nice newer homes as well).

Though the houses aren't all on one main street, the majority of the houses are located in roughly 4-block-square area informally called "Greekland."

University of Washington. Beautiful houses on old tree-lined streets, taking up several blocks right off campus. www.uwgreeks.com

or, if you want to go directly to looking at the houses, start here for fraternities: http://depts.washington.edu/greek/if...maalphaepsilon
and here for sororities: http://www.uwpanhellenic.com/chapter-profiles.html

I really like Florida State's Greek houses. Although not a "row" the sorority houses are amazing and the new village-type thing they've got going on for the fraternities is quite impressive.

Purdue also has pretty impressive houses, if only for the fact that it seems like the Greek houses take up as much space as the actual campus itself. The Kappa Sigma and Delta Tau Delta houses there are amazing (I think... I like impressive architecture and ivy on the walls).

Like someone else said, I also really enjoy UVA's entire campus, especially the Greek houses! (And Kappa Sigma's new HQ)
